Good afternoon everyone!

My exercise regimen is ruined with all the threat of snow! But, I am weighing in lower, bringing the average down. 178 average now. And I'm getting 10k steps every day, just in case I don't exercise because I can't get to the gym.

❌ 4 workouts per week (2/4)
Daily:
✅ > 8k steps
❌<= 1600 cal
✅ 32 minute self care
✅ > 64oz water
✅>= 128g protein

Yesterday I went a few hundred calories above my goal, and I did it somewhat purposefully. N had some kind of reaction at school that left her cheeks and chin all red, and it persisted all night. I ate my feelings about it, 4 mini candy bars and a couple of crackers with butter. But I recognized what I was doing, and didn't let it get too crazy (which I totally wanted to do).

Tonight! The last of the japanese curry leftovers and video games with the boys. I have already gotten 8k steps today, so I'm on track for 10k, even with video game night. My lunch laps around my building while distracting myself with phone games has really been working.

That said! Tomorrow I don't have work, and Friday I have a dentist appt in the morning, so I might not go to work Friday either (but I might). Tomorrow I'm going to go to Costco to stock up before some nasty weather we're supposed to get Friday night/Saturday morning, which might throw a wrench in our other weekend plans. Which means I have to do the fridge/freezer/pantry inventory tonight to make sure I don't buy too much/plan our meals. Chili would be a good one Saturday if other plans fall through. Or Sunday, if they don't. And the girls love chili.

@nebslp somehow I missed you last time! I love the tshirt thing! I think that's an awesome tangible marker of progress. I hope you've taken your before picture with it on!

@Quirkout I LOVE the alani bars. They're like candy bars but better for you. My favorites are the rocky road and caramel crunch, although the munchies are good too. I don't like the peanut butter and jelly ones at all, haha.

@katrina6823 look at you go! Congratulations! I don't Insta anymore, or I would follow you!

@rorymason I love key lime everything, so I get it! I also get the feeling gross with too much carbs and sugar. I hope what you need, you get, today!

@kristinwoods919 WHOOSH congrats!

@rachellsayer I totally get that urge when busy and tired to just eat. I try to give myself a little non-food "treat" when I'm feeling overwhelmed. Maybe it's 5 minutes in a quiet room with an escapist book, or a new lip liner I've been meaning to replace. I've just bought a new romance novel for myself, I love that Kindle will send me a reduced price if I've looked at something recently but not bought it. I got this one for a dollar. lol 👀

Have a great day, everyone!

Christina, no Olive Garden today, no work, there is a power outage, in fact, a lot of power outages due to the fires we've been having. Power company oftentimes cuts the power during fires to avoid the risk of downed power lines and other calamities. So I'm home. going to have a beef kebab for lunch with mixed vegetables. For dinner, hard shell chicken tacos made with Sunday's leftover roast chicken.

Today I am trying something new. At work I sit at a desk all day and I forget to get up and move. I set a reminder on my phone to pop up every hour that says WALK. I am going to walk inside the building and hopefully get 500 steps each time. This should add up to an additional 4K in steps. (Sometimes when I leave work, I barely have 3K. I realize that Apple has a feature reminding me to stand, but I've gotten good at ignoring that one. Most days I don't want to have to work out plus spend 45 minutes on the treadmill to get 10K in steps after working. I need to try something different.
